Drizzle and Fog.

10-4-12 VERMONT: We got here in the mid-afternoon yesterday after a trip up through the rain and mist. Everything here is soaked. There are puddles and standing water everywhere. The rain gauge was filled to the top, it records up to five inches, but was filled beyond that at least another inch. This morning was foggy, in fact the whole day was foggy with drizzle. The ceiling starts at the treetops.

The fall color is probably at peak here. Every year I point out that color is quite variable from neighborhood to neighborhood depending on sun exposure, altitude, micro-climate, tree species and, of course, latitude. That said, the color is good here and would be far better with some sunlight, and we might get some tomorrow.

New blooms: monkshood, asters, sedum, boltonia.


When it's really wet, odd things pop up. Anyone know this mushroom?

The color is probably at peak here.

A little sunshine will light this up.
